I'm Currently Feeling: | POLL-just me being nosey.... But....
How long do you stay lying down after BD'ing??
AND do you stick a pillow under your bum/hips??
ANYTHING else you do to help the swimmers get to their destination?
I am just curious/nosey as to what I do is normal or enough time to allow sperm to do their thing. I usually stick a pillow under by bum and stay lying for 15-20 minutes.
Thanks!

| I try my hardest to stay still after but get wayyyyy too bored so the most I manage is 10 mins - with a pillow under my hips. Have tried the occasional handstand too ...
Fact is tho, the sperms's gonna get there, no matter what u do - I mean, loadsa gals get preggo without doing this. When you think about it (sorry to go into mucho detail here) but when the act's taking place and your OH 'finishes' so to speak, it's pretty much gonna shoot straight into the opening anyway, right, cos it's as far as it can get 'up there' anyway - well, in my experience with hubby it is or mebbe I'm just a lucky lucky gal ;-) (ew, talk about biology lesson, call me Mrs Lox!). x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I always have my legs in the air.......
haha
used to until I read that someone with a tilted or tipped cervix should be the opposite.
On belly with butt in air..hahahaha
usually for 20 min to 30 mins.
Really hard on lower back but if you hang head off bed a little bit..takes the pressure off your back!
this si the first time I have tried it this way and will be testing in 2 days so will let ya know!!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | im with trixie..get too bored, 5-10 max  and also ive read it makes no difference whatsoever as it only takes one and 1000's of women never do this and still get pg  i did!
id say having ewcm/preseed/eggwhites is more important cause the swimmers need that to get to their goal. so to speak  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | How long do you stay lying down after BD'ing?? I normally do it at bedtime, so am technically lying down for a very long time lol, but this cycle have religiously stayed on my back for about 20mins
AND do you stick a pillow under your bum/hips?? again, not normally but have been this time round
ANYTHING else you do to help the swimmers get to their destination? ummm..... I been waiting till hubby goes to sleep then having an orgasm LMAO!!! 
AGree with the others though that you don't have to, the cm is like little ladders for the fellas to climb up, they won't "fall off" lol! - but after 2.5yrs figured was worth a try? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've been lying on my back for about 30 minutes with a pillow under my bum. Having said that, we usually bd just before bed so I refuse to get up again and make DH go and get me a glass of water etc! I agree it probably doesn't make a huge difference but every time I go to move I keep thinking of my RL friend's mantra of "Don't waste a drop!!!". |
